Dual Xeon E5-2690 v4 server for virtualization

The Dell PowerEdge T430 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors. Each CPU provides 14 cores running at 2.6 GHz with a 3.5 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 32 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 12 slots and a PERC HBA330 storage controller. It is designed for virtualization, database hosting, and business-critical applications.

Suits consolidation workloads.

This server suits IT teams consolidating VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, or Proxmox workloads with room for storage growth. The 16 hot-swap 2.5-inch bays support SAS and SATA drives for large capacity arrays. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training or high-performance computing should look elsewhere, as the chassis and power design target CPU-bound services.

16-bay 2.5-inch chassis defines storage scale

The defining specification is the 16-bay 2.5-inch hot-swap drive configuration backed by the HBA330 controller. It sets the maximum raw storage capacity and determines whether the platform fits a software-defined storage or backup target role. Memory can scale to 384 GB across 12 slots, but the bay count is the fixed constraint that decides fit for purpose.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the T430 run with both Xeon E5-2690 v4 CPUs at 2.6 GHz under continuous load?

The server includes two 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies and redundant hot-swap cooling designed for sustained dual-processor operation.

Which drives and caddies do I need to populate the 16-bay 2.5-inch chassis?

Eight 2.5-inch drive trays are included; the HBA330 controller supports SAS and SATA drives, so you supply compatible 2.5-inch SAS or SATA HDDs or SSDs for the remaining bays.

Can I keep my existing DDR4-2400 ECC RDIMMs when upgrading this T430 to 384 GB?

Yes, the system uses DDR4 ECC registered memory across 12 slots; matching DDR4-2400 ECC RDIMMs will work alongside the installed 32 GB.
